Charity Super.Mkt to return to Bluewater this month
Charity Super.Mkt, the ‘department store for second-hand style’, will be returning to Kent’s Bluewater shopping centre this month.
Launched 18 months ago by Maria Chenoweth and Wayne Hemingway, the brand ran a pop-up at the centre last year and has also had launches at Glasgow’s Buchanan Galleries, Brighton and Reading.
Subscribe to TRBCharity Super.Mkt has sold 287,318 items of clothing to date with sales reaching £2.5 million as it looks to give charities such as Shelter, Cancer Research, Age UK and TRAID an additional income stream.
Wayne Hemingway, Charity Super.Mkt co-founder, said: “We learnt a lot about the Bluewater shopper in our last pop-up, and the charities have been putting aside some fab items of very cool and affordable second-hand clothing and accessories. So please come along from the evening of the 25th July, grab yourself a fashionable bargain, every pound you spend is a good pound.”
Charity Super.Mkt will be situated on Bluewater’s Upper Rose Gallery between SDMN Clothing and FatFace.
James Waugh, centre director at Bluewater, said: “Charity Super.Mkt is a proven concept that has been exciting shoppers across the UK for the past year and their ethos aligns with our continued commitment to becoming a more sustainable retail destination, so we’re delighted for them to return for three months this summer.
“The store was a big hit with customers last time it was at Bluewater and the trend for pre-loved fashion continues to grow, so we’re sure it will prove to be another popular addition to the centre.”
